Prof. Satoru SONE
Brief Bio: Satoru SONE, Born in 1939 in Tokyo, graduated from the Univ. of Tokyo in 1962, PhD in Electrical Engineering in 1967.
Lecturer, Associate Professor and Professor of the Univ. of Tokyo 1967-1968, 1968-1981 and 1981-2000 respectively.  After retiring from the Univ.of Tokyo he joined Kogakuin Univ. to establish a new laboratory in electric railway fields as Professor 2000-2007 and then he is a key organiser of Lectire Series of Railways for continuous education at the same Univ. The Lecture Series of Railways is unique in Japan and popular to professionals of various fields in railway industries as well as among railway enthusiasts.
He engaged mostly in various electric railway fields including modern power electronic traction systems, development of linear motored metro system, safety aspects of train operation, improved train scheduling/ rescheduling system, and high performance energy saving technologies by using energy storage systems.
Some examples of his contribution to actual railway systems are; development of Shinkansen in early stage especially in stable current collection at booster section of the catenary, development of world first regenerative trainset, Series 300, development of super high speed maglev systems toward practical use, linear motored small profile transit system supported by steel wheels on steel rail, and improved train scheduling of intercity high-speed line and suburban commuter lines.

Title: Purposes and configuration of hybrid traction

Abstract: This Keynote Speech is not aimed for any single purpose of development such as energy saving, limitation of voltage fluctuation etc. but for overall improvement of the system.  It is still difficult to adopt energy storage devices from purely economic point of view because even state of the art technology in electric energy storage devices is still too expensive and too heavy if loaded on-board. In order to escape from the difficulty, the author stresses the importance of multiple purposes and coordination of all energy storage devices located near to each other, wayside or on-board.
Similar lecture has been made recently by the author at a joint IEEJ (the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan) meeting of Investigation Committees of On-board Hybrid Traction and Wayside Storage Systems.

Title: Challenges in high speed, multi system train control
Abstract: In Europe there is an increased demand for cross-border railway connections. In order to make these journeys as comfortable as possible, vehicles are needed which can be operated in several countries and railway networks. For historical reasons, the railway infrastructures in the individual countries were developed independently from each other. As a consequence, a very heterogeneous infrastructure, e.g. different power systems and various automatic train protection systems, has come into existence.
Multi-system trains have to cope with the requirements resulting from this heterogeneous infrastructure. The diverse requirements that apply to vehicles in cross-border railway operation are shown and the body of the presentation illustrates how these challenges were answered in the Velaro Platform.
Train control is a key technology in order to fulfill these requirements. The presentation will give an overview of the control of high-speed multi-system trains. The basic properties of train control, e.g. control unit, bus communication and diagnosis are described. Furthermore, the integration of multiple automatic train protection systems is stressed. Finally, the presentation illustrates the engineering process with respect to safety-relevant control systems.
The presentation closes with an outlook on future developments in train control.

Title: Current Status of Railway Safety and Risk Management in the UK

Abstract: Railways are by far one of the safest means of ground transportation, especially for their passengers and employees. There are serious issues involved in both maintaining this position in reality and sustaining the public perception of railway safety excellence. Britain’s railway system was restructured and privatised between during 1990s. The industry now consists of separate companies including infrastructure controllers, train and freight operating companies, rolling stock companies and contractor companies to maintain and renew the infrastructure. However, the railway finds itself in a situation where actual and perceived safeties are real issues, to be dealt with in a new public culture of rapid change, short-term pressures and instant communications. Until Hatfield rail accident, the railway safety is now changed to safety case approach in which operators and builders of installations have to have an approved safety case for their activities before they are allowed to operate. This keynote presents an overview of current status of railway safety and risk management and a focused discussion on the lesson learned from Hatfield rail accident, main changes, current railway safety and risk management system, safety case approach framework, problems in safety and risk assessment and management with a aim to improve railway infrastructure safety management.

Title: In-situ Guided-wave-based Health Monitoring for Train Bogie Structures: Technique Development and Application to Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway
Abstract: Based on the team’s research efforts over the years, an in-situ structural health monitoring (SHM) technique taking advantage of guided elastic waves has been developed, and deployed via an online diagnosis system. The technique and the system were recently installed on China’s latest high-speed train model (CRH380CL) operated on Beijing−Shanghai High-Speed Railway (BSHSR), the world’s longest high-speed line constructed in a single phase. The system incorporated modularized components including active sensor networks, wave generation, data acquisition, signal processing, data fusion, and results presentation. The sensor network, inspired by a concept of “decentralized standard sensing”, was integrated into bogie frames during train final assembly, to generate and acquire guided ultrasonic waves, from which a wide array of signal features were extracted. Mock-up damage affixed to the bogie was identified quantitatively, and visualized in images. This in-situ testing has demonstrated the feasibility, effectiveness, sensitivity, and reliability of the developed SHM technique and system in real-world applications.
Keywords: structural health monitoring; guided waves; high-speed train; train bogie; damage detection; Beijing−Shanghai High-Speed Railway; CRH380CL
